Approval of minutes from previous meetings. (May 29, 2008; June 5, 2008)
John Kruntorad made a motion to approve the minutes. Sharron Nabors asked that it be
noted that the minutes did not include Jim Matthews' presentation in its entirety. John Kruntorad
withdrew his motion. Dennis Chalaire suggested that the transcript of Jim Matthews' presentation
prepared by Charles Richards be attached to the minutes. Mr. Chalaire also suggested the questions
be attached for Jim Matthews, as well as HDR Engineering to the minutes. Subject to the
attachments being affixed to the minutes, a Motion to approve the minutes was made by Dennis
Chalarie and seconded by Sharron Nabors. Motion carried unanimously.
4. Citizens forum.
No one spoke.
5. Review Goals and Objectives.
Shawn Napier reviewed the goals and objectives with the Committee. It was a consensus of
the Committee to make the following changes to the necessary work tasks:
Current Pat Mavse stand alone yield. Receive consultants opinion of Pat Mayse safe yield
Page 1 of 3
w OOVOIV
by November 13`h instead of the August 21S` meeting.
Reallocation of flood control storage in Pat Mavse. Engineering opinion on safe yield
possibly available from this source by the November 13`h meeting instead of the Octoberl6th
meeting.
John Kruntorad inquired if the information from Jim Matthews would be made available to
the Corp of Engineers and Shawn Napier answered in the affirmative. Mr. Kruntorad asked about
the fees for HDR. Mr. Napier said the current spreadsheet reflected HDR' fees would be
approximately $133,000.00, but that there were some items that would be coming off of that list.
He estimated HDR's fees would come in under $100,000.00 and said that anything over $75,000.00
would have to go back to Council for approval.
6. Review and discuss section 15 of the briefing book.
Chairman Hayter referred the Committee to the Chart prepared by Herb Campbell. (See
Exhibit "A" attached and incorporated herein) Chairman Hayter reminded the Committee that the
figures were based on averages.
Next, the Committee discussed data from the Corps of Engineer reflecting intake and
outflow. Herb Campbell said there were physical means to keep the water from going over the
overflow. Chairman Hayter said the contract did not allow for storage over 451 feet, but that the
contract could be amended.
7. Review budgets for consultants.
Shawn Napier went over the budget for the consultants (See Exhibit "B" attached and
incorporated herein) Chairman Hayter inquired if Shawn had suggested work items that could be
deleted and Mr. Napier said there were items in task 3 that could be taken out.
8. Receive questions for the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
Chairman Hayter reminded the Committee to submit their questions to Shawn Napier for the
July 10`h meeting.
9. Possible future agenda items.
Herb Campbell asked that Mr. Napier provided an overlay of Pat Mayse Lake and Cooper
Lake reflecting normal pool elevations. Shawn referred the Committee to the briefing book
reflecting Cooper Lake elevations during the drought. Dan Smith wanted to know how much water
Irving took out of Cooper Lake on a daily basis. Mr. Napier referred the Committee to section 12
of the briefing book.
Chairman Hayter said they would hear from the Corps of Engineers on July 10`'' and should
Page 2 of 3
. 000017
have population projections on July 24`n
10. Adjournment.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Sharron Nabors and
seconded by Rick McDougall. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 5:20

LAKE PAT MAYSE STUDY COMMITTEE
107 E. KAUFMAN STREET
PARIS, TEXAS
THURSDAY JULY 10 2008
Call the meeting to order.
Chairman Hayter called the meeting to order at 4:05 p.m.
2. Committee member roll ca11.
Janice Ellis called the roll.
Members present were Herb Campell, John Kruntorad, Rick McDougall, Gene McWaters,
Michael Moffitt, Sharron Nabors, Jim Noble, and Dan Smith. Ex-Officio Members present were
Renee Harvey, Jim Kays, Frank Wright, and Ray Ball. Members absent were Dennis Chalaire and
Richard Quarles. Ex-Officio members absent were Byron Billman and Bob Campbell. Alternate
member Joan Mathis was absent.
Also, present were city staff Shawn Napier, City Engineer; Kent McIlyar, City Attorney;
Doug Harris, Interim Public Utilities Director; and Janice Ellis, City Clerk.
3. Citizens forum.
Jackie Alsobrook, 4135 Misty Lane - she spoke in opposition of selling water, but did say
if water was sold at all that it should only be sold in Lamar County.
4. Question and Answer session with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. (See List of Questions for
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers attached as Exhibit "A")
Shawn Napier introduced Randall Dobbs, consultant for the City of Irving, Todd Reck, and
Steve Pettit from the City of Irving. Mr. Napier also introduced Jan Hotubee, Mark Ellison and
Amy Jordan with the Corps of Engineers.
(1) Mark Ellison said the minimum lake level at which the boat ramps at Pat Mayse were
operation was approximately441 feet and the maximum level was approximately448
feet. He said with regard to road closures you get in trouble around 457 feet.
(2) With regard to the conservation pool, Jan Hotubee said anything over 451 feet would
cause overflow. She said there was no way to control it without construction and the
process was inuch inore involved than just putting in a gate. Prior to construction,
a dam safety study would be required, as well as congressional authorization.
Page l of 3
. 000021
process was much more involved than just putting in a gate. Prior to construction, a
dam safety study would be required, as well as congressional authorization.
(3) Ms. Hotubee stated that the stream gauge flow was the rnethod used to measure
inflow, outflow and evaporation at Pat Mayse Lake and that it was the scientific
method approved.
(4) Ms. Hotubee explained they did not have the data to reflect what the daily drawn
capacity of the lake would be when fully silted. She said the last sediment survey
was done in 1985 and she did not know the amount of silt that had come in since
then.
(5-6) Ms. Hotubee said the Corps did not have plans to increase the capacity of the lake,
nor did they have the funds available to improve the capacity.
(7) Ms. Hotubee said that a daily average was not used for evaporation and spillway
discharge in GPD.
(8) As to how much water would be available in the conservation pool should a five year
drought reduce the replenishing process by just 10% per year of an average annual of
rainfa1142.6 inches, Ms. Hotubee reported a determination could not be calculated
without review of historic data.
(9) Ms. Hotubee said there were big releases out of Hugo and she wasn't swe if those
would have a big impact. She also said there was a problem in that there is an
endangered species in Pine Creek and identified it as being a Ouachita rock-
pocketbook, a rare freshwater mussel.
(10) Ms. Hotubee said she was not aware of any mandates.
(11) Todd Reek said they were looking at different options and Ms. Hotubee said they
would have to conduct studies to make the detennination.
(12) Ms. Hotubee stated the least expensive and easiest route would be to raise the dam.
She said dredging was very expensive and they would have to determine if there was
toxic waste. Should there be toxic materials in the sediment, it would require special
handling.
(13) Ms. Hotubee said the Corps were interesting in participating in improvements and
could look at options to obtain funding from the federal government.
(14) An environmental impact study will need to be conducted which would be part of the
reallocation study. The estimated completion of the study is five years.

Questions for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
1. What is the maximum lake level and minimum lake level at which the boat ramps at Pat
Mayse Lake are operational? Is it feasible to make boats operational at lower lake levels
than is now the case?
2. Is there a way to keep the lake level higher at the start of summer by not releasing water
unless the level were at 457 or above, instead of at 451? We get very little of our rain in
July and August, and evaporation is at its highest. Is there not a way to put a gate where
the water leaves the lake so that water levels in the summer start their decline from a
higher level? At what lake level does it become a problem in the parks, picnic areas, etc.
around Pat Mayse Lake?
3. How accurate are the Corps' data on inflow, outflow and evaporation at Pat Mayse Lake?
Just estimates? Is the data scientifically valid? Describe the processes through which
inflow, outflow, and evaporation are determined.
4. What will be the daily drawn down capacity of P.M. Lake when fully silted, (2065)?
5. Does the Corps have plans or been asked to prepare plans for increased capacity at P.M.
Lake?
6. Are there funds available through the Corps to improve capacity at P. M. Lake?
7. At P. M. Lake what amount does the Corps use for daily average of evaporation and
spillway discharge in GPD?
8. How much water would be available in the conservation pool (415 ft. - 451 ft.) if a 5 year
drought reduced the replenishing process by just 10 % per year of our average annual of
rain fa1142.6 in. ?
9. Would the reduction in current spillway overflow (if water was diverted prior to the
spillway) create problems downstream on flowage requirements within the Red River ?
10. Does the Corps require (mandate) certain flows through P. M. Lake that would prohibit
City redirection (sale) of water that never reaches overflow capacity?
11. Would the pumping of water from Lake Hugo into P.M. Lake create problems P. M.
Lake was not designed to handle? (Quicker silt accumulation, less flood control, water
quality, plant. animal or recreational issues)
12. If P. M. Lake's capacity was to be increased which method dredging, raising dam, or
moving upstream would increase capacity the best and be the most economical to
accomplish?
13. Would the Corps be interested in participating in future P. M. Lake improvements
relating to capacity building?
Exhibit "A"
. OODU211,
14. What environmental studies or permits are required when considering the sale of water
from Pat Mayse?
15. When considering Pat Mayse Lake as a reservoir for increasing the lake capacity or for a
storage pool, what regulatory restrictions or requirements have to be met? Does the
potential effect on recreational use come into play under these considerations?

storage and placement of recreational vehicles.
Chairman Wilson referred the Committee to draft two of the travel trailer ordinance and
reviewed the proposed changes as requested by the Committee. There was discussion about whether
or not the exemption would stay with the special vehicle or with the property where the special
vehicle was located. It was a consensus of the Committee to make the following changes:
In General.
2) was moved to the "exceptions" section since it will apply only to grandfathered
vehicles and expanded in that section to include "or if no curb line exists, 11 feet
from the existing roadway."
3) 14 maximum days per calendar year was added.
9) the words "within any portion of the side yard or rear yard which is" were deleted.
Exceptions.
(a) the words "item 1"(from the "In General" section) are to be inserted between the
words "the" and "Chief."
(b) this section was added and shall read: this exception shall apply only to the registered
vehicle registered at that specific location.
Registration of Special Vehicles.
2) the words "from item 1" (from the "In General" section) are to be inserted between
the words "exempY" and "from."
Chairman Wilson asked Lisa Wright to explain the procedure for registering a special vehicle
with the City. Lisa Wright said the person who wishes to register a special vehicle should come to
her office and complete a form that will be developed. After completion of the form, a Code
Enforcement Officer will go to the location and take a photograph to document the vehicle being
grand-fathered, then the Police Chief will be forwarded the application to determine if it meets the
safety requirements. If the vehicle meets the safety requirement, it will be registered with the City.
Ms. Wright also stated there would be no registration fee.
Subject to the above changes, a Motion to accept this Ordinance was made by Pete Kampfer
and seconded by Cheryt Moore. Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Wilson inquired as to when the ordinance would be submitted to the City Council
and Lisa Wright estimated it would be in August.

Bruce Frazier left the meeting at 5:50 p.m.
4. Continued discussion of and possible action on recommending revisions to the ordinance
regulating large animals within the city limits.
Chairman Wilson moved to draft two of the large animal ordinance for review by the
Committee. After a brief discussion regarding section (a), it was a consensus of the Committee to
add a new number (1) to read as follows: livestock cannot be kept on less than one-half (%2) acre; the
other numbers will read the same but the numbering will change to (2) and (3).
Walter Cavendar, 713 Oak Street, inquired if the %z acre had to be combined in one lot.
Chairman Wilson said he did not anticipate a problem as long as he had a total of %2 acre of property.
Chief Louis recommended grandfathering the animals that had been on the same property for
years because of possible court issues on these specific circumstances. Chairman Wilson said he was
concerned about health issues when he saw horses standing in deep mud on %2 acre lots. Mr. Wilson
said this situation was not good for the horse or the neighbors. Chief Louis said if it was unsanitary,
that would be a different issue and they should handle that anyway. Pete Kampfer was opposed to
grandfathering the animals.
Bee Garmon arrived to the meeting at 6:15 p.m.
Chairman Wilson asked that Chief Louis conduct a survey and get back to the Committee
with regard to how many animals could be possibly grandfathered. Don Taylor said that the
Committee might want to consider giving the land owner up to a year to make other arrangements
for the animal. Council Member Biard asked Chief Louis to provide the lot size in his survey.
Cheryt Moore asked that photographs also be taken of the animal and location.
Chairman Wilson asked staff to bring back to the next meeting the revised draft of the
demolition by neglect ordinance.
Some of the Committee Members were questioning the enforcement of the ordinances they
had submitted and that had been passed by City Council. Kevin Carruth reminded the Committee
that when they started this process they were asked to consider whether sufficient resources were
available to the staff to enforce the new ordinances. Mr. Carruth reminded the Committee that there
are only two code enforcement officers for the entire City of Paris and they were diligently working
the cases with the resources available, which were limited. He reminded them that for the past
several months seventeen people have been directing the activities of only three people.
5. Adjournment.
There being no further business, a Motion to adjourn was made by Zach Saffle and seconded
by Cheryt Moore. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 6:40 p.m. The next
meeting of the Task Force will be Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.

were unanimously approved.
Discussion & Action for Particiaation in April Archerv Tournament
Becky Semple asked that the board help recruit volunteers and work at a concession stand at the
Archery Tournament. There will be two concession stands, one run by Main Street one run by
the Paris Visitors & Convention Council. Supplies are bought together for the two stands and the
proceeds are split between the two groups. Last year approximately $2,000 was earned for each
group. The board would need to secure 15 volunteers for this event. Kari Daniel made a motion
that we agree to help with this event. Pike seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Presentation Regardin2 Grand Theatre bv Greg Wilson
Greg was brought to this meeting to discuss his history with the Grand Theatre and what has been
done so far. When Greg moved back to Paris the Grand Theatre was empty and he had a lady
approach him abaut getting a loan to bring the Grand back to life. After this lady's funding was
proving to not be large enough Greg decided to look into the project himself. Using his wife's
marketing background he planed to bring the theatre back to life and have events in the building.
The building is currently under taxing entities control. Greg partnered with his cousin Holland
Harper and had set a budget of approximately $150,000 to bring the building back. The roof
would cost $40,000 (at Harrison, Walker & Harper's cost), just to get electricity to code would be
$90,000. It has been estimated that the roof will cave-in in approximately 4 years, and something
needs to be done before this point in order for the building to be saved. After discovering the task
was larger than originally anticipated Greg turned to Lisa Wright and Bethany Golden. A
. 000036
Brownfield grant was sought after but was not received at this time. Bethany will be reapplying
for this Grant. Issues with receiving grants is you need a plan and community support. An
estimate of $200,000 was given for the removal of asbestos, pigeon bodies, and to fix the roof.
Greg suggested that someone would need to be hired to keep events booked in the theatre. It
could be used as a community facility with multiple uses. If the outside were fixed it would
change the attitude of the community. In-kind donations to could obtained to help with the
lighting of the marquee. A group did come together to discuss the Grand but there is no
governing body in control of it right now. A group putting on a Branson-type event is donating to
the Grand and the Paris Downtown Association is having a Fashion show to raise money for the
faqade. It was suggested by members of the board that a task force be formed to control the
Grand. The Historical Society has requested a proposal on the facade by architects, which should
be ready soon. A master plan would need to be put together for the complete revitalization of the
Theatre which would cost between $30,000 &$50,000. To put together the plan a hired company
would go from room to room of the building and say what needs to be done, and gives
suggestions for the use of the building.
Presentation Re2ardine Gatewav & Wav-Findins Signs bv Shannon Barrentine
Gateways - Each gateway sign needs and easement of 25' x 100' and each sign will be 12' x
8'.Solar Lighting will be installed with each sign for lighting. A billboard was installed in
October '07 fro the South entrance on 19/24. Additional locations include from the southeast
Hwy 271 S, property owner Barney Bray, from the West Hwy 82 W, property owner Roger
Hooper, from the East Hwy 82 E, property owner Dr. Donald Lewis, and fram the North Hwy
271 N, property owner Carol Martin. Bamey Bray is working with his Attorney for the easement,
Roger Hooper declined due to planting of crops, Dr. Lewis & Heirs are taking it under
consideration and Carol Martin & Heirs declined, feeling it would hurt their property value. Each
property owner will receive $10 for use of the easement. Support is still needed to get 2 declining
property owners to allow use of their property.
Way-Finding - Brown Historic signs will be placed on major thoroughfares & colored signs
(possibly Maroon & Gold) will lead traffic to Various Points of Interest, including Bywaters Park,
Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, City Hall & Annex, Courthouse, Downtown Plaza,
Farmer's Market, Historic Downtown, Civic Center, Maxey House, Trail de Paris & all schools.
Way finding signs wil] be split up into 4 Quadrants, using Eastbound Hwy 82 & Southbound
Hwy 271 for the NW Quadrant, Eastbound Hwy 82 & Northbound Hwy 19/24 for the SW
Quadrant, Northbound Hwy 19/24, Northbound Hwy 271 & Westbound Hwy 82 for the SE
Quadrant & Eastbound Hwy 82, Southbound FM 195 & Southbound Hwy 271 for the NE
Quadrant. Way finding sign plan must be approved by TxDOT and The City of Paris prior to

Discussion Reizarding Archerv Tournament Concessions
Approximately $4,000 dollars was raised total, $2,000 going to Main Street and $2,000 going to
the Visitors Convention Council. An additional chamber shoot was held this year on Wednesday
and Thursday and will be held again next year. Archers requested that we have concessions for
that time also and that we sell drinks in the woods while they are shooting. We received great
feedback from the Archers. Charter vans were not used as planned so next year we will probably
only have one van instead of two. Other considerations for next year would be food sponsorship.
Oak Farms will be donating their services. We will not have the ready-made sausages next year
that we had this year; we will go back to the fresh made breakfast. Paris is receiving 3 pages in
the "year book" sent out by the Archers Association. Dates for next year are April ls`_Stn. Need
to start thinking about what we want to use the $2,000 raised for.
Discussion & Possible Action Regarding A Grand Theatre Committee
It was suggested that we look for people outside of just The Paris Downtown Association and
Paris Main Street for committee, including people in the construction, electrical, historical,
financial fields, financial institutes, attorneys and city. Some names suggested included Becky
Semple, Gary Brown, John Brazil, Greg Wilson, Plug Clem & Cindy Allcorn. It needs to be
decided as to what we want the purpose of the building to be. On Apri128t" a contract for survey
will be put before the City Council. The contract would include an assessment of the front fagade
for structural stability and a fagade rendering. Once this survey is complete we will then be able
to get quotes for restoration. A Brownfield Grand will be applied for in October for $250,000 -
$350,000.
What would the purpose of this committee be? We don't want to get a group of professionals
together and not give them some type of direction. They could possibly be responsible for Master
Plan that the Historical Preservation Council is going to want to see. A motion was made by
Marvin Gorley that we hold off on forming committee until after we have more information about
- 000041
survey, and we finish our initial goal of fixing the facade, Karol Lynn Moore seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously
Committee Reuorts
Organization Committee - Legal documents for Gateway Signs have been changed in order to
ease concerns of land owners. Some were concerned because the Gateways were permanent in
the past and this change has allowed the Gateways to be temporary. The Chamber of Commerce
has fled the way finding signs with TxDOT and should hear something saan.
Design Committee Report - This committee is currently working on where to place Parking
Signs. A quote of $300 for 5 signs has been given. The signs would go on excising poles. Pike
suggested giving the information to Shannon Barrentine at the Chamber to tie in with Way
Finding signs with TxDot for approval. Committee is also working on getting the electrical
outlets around the fountain fiunctioning for Christmas lights in trees. Matthew Coyle is warking
to get a quote to see the cost of this project. Research is also being put into getting Christmas
lights around buildings by Christmas this year.
Promotions Committee Report - Skate Day was held on March 22nd. It was a very successful
day and we received a lot of feedback from the kids. 3 entries are already being worked on for
the Student Film Festival for Ju1y. Keep Paris Beautiful is going to possibly be cosponsoring the
Film Festival with Main Street sponsoring a full length movie afterwards.
